Guidelines for Printing Forms
The forms you print must be clear and sharp. Applications that are blurred or illegible will not be accepted. They must be printed in black ink o n white paper. The paper must be 8 1/2 inches by 11 inches, with no holes or perforations, at least medium (20 lb.) weight, and with a matte surface. Thermal paper, dye-sublimation paper, special inkjet paper, and other shiny papers are not acceptable.
Some printers will reduce the photograph area on the passport application to less than 2x2 inches. Please make sure that the photograph area on the printed application form is 2x2 inches to ensure that the photographs you submit (also 2x2 inches in size) can be correctly attached.
Please type or print legibly when completing all sections of the application.
Please PRINT OUT AND SUBMIT ONLY ONE-SIDED PAGES OF THE FORM
Digitized Passport Photos
If you choose to submit digitized photos, they must meet the same requirements of all passport photographs (See Guide for Professional Photographers ). In addition, digitized photographs are always produced on digital printers. Some printers will produce a photograph in which the dots are seen.
Visible dots distort the image by making it look grainy. Acceptable photos have a continuous tone image that looks very photo-like.
